Experiment IV

We were working secretly for the Military
Our experiment in sound
Was nearly ready to begin
We only know in theory what we are doing
Music made for pleasure
Music made to thrill
It was music we were making here until.....

Chorus

They told us all they wanted was a sound
That could kill someone from a distance
So we go ahead
And the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake in the making

From the painful cries of mothers to
The terrifying scream
We recorded it and put it into our machine.....

Chorus

It could feel like falling in love
It could feel so bad
But it could feel so good
It could sing you to sleep
But that dream is your enemy
We won't be there to be blamed
We won't be there to snitch
I just pray
That someone there can hit the switch

But they told us all they wanted was a sound
That could kill someone from a distance
So we go ahead and
The meters are over in the red
It's a mistake we have made
